On May 23-24, 2012, the University of Oregon and its Robert D. Clark Honors College will host a student-focused conference on “Indigenous People, Climate Change, and Environmental Knowledge.” Students from a diversity of disciplines will present research related to climate and culture in the Americas alongside faculty and graduate students.

Students will present their research in either oral paper panels or poster sessions, and a broader local and regional community will be invited to participate, including American Indian and Alaska Native students from tribal colleges and others from native communities.
